THE PRESIDENT AND
THE CHANCELLOR method for the common good.
Luke Cates is a thoroughbred by
Le Premier out of Gray Bess. He is
a dark bay with four white feet, is
1694 hands and weighs about 1100
pounds. Breed that light or medium
weight mare to this horse and raise
a colt that will make a good all-around
horse with plenty of nerve and
stamina, or will sell for a cavalry
horse that will demand a good price
for years to come. It is a well known
fact that the government cannot get
enough of the right type of horses for
the cavalry because there is a lack of
good staunch thoroughbred blood in
the average horse of today.
Luke Cates will make the season
at the Smith farm 1 mile east and gone" when this war is ended.
President Wilson in his address to
Congress on February 11, said:
"The method the German chancel-
lor proposes is the method of the
Congress of Vienna. We can not
and will not return to that. Is it
possible that Count Von Hertling
does not see that, does not grasp it,
is in fact living in his thought in a
world dead and gone?"
Count Von Hertling in his address
to the Reichstag on February 26 re-
torts as follows:
"President Wilson, who reproaches
the German chancellor with a certain
amount of backwardness, sdems to
me in his view of ideas to have hur-
ried far in advance of existing reali-
ties."
These two quotations illustrate the
difference between the American and
the German standpoint.
America does demand something
beyond the existing realities that
Germany has created — demands a
better day, the observance of the
rules of civilization, an honorable
rule of national conduct, freedom
and justice to small nations, to all
peoples, which do not exist today
because of German kultur.
Germany insists upon a return to
and perpetuation of fraud and ty-
ranny and ruthlessness, a disregard
of justice to small nations, indeed to
all nations and peoples, a conscience-
less rule of international conduct
These things may not yet be "dead
and gone" but they will be "dead and
DEMOCRACY
One great problem before men and j
women on the earth is government;
how is it to be accomplished? Quite
easily, replies the foremost man, just |
hear and obey me. Men have thus |
been governed in the past by the I
king, the knowing one. Among the
blind the one-eyed man is king, they
have said. In such a case there is of
course guidance, and genuine help
perhaps. But not always does the
king guide and help. Watch him in j
history, and see how by his will and
caprice he has made seeing men to
move as vaguely as the blind, and
to be as fearful as they, herded and
hurried in the ways of his capricious
and changeful fancy. Men want a
mind at ease under government, and
have put the caprice of kings into
the strait-jacket of this or that con*
stitution. The Bill of Rights is in-
tended to express the limit of motion
for the ruler's will. Thus arises the
rule of something above personal de-
sire and intention, something ancient
yet new, the rulership of the Spirit
over men.
The definition of democracy, "gov-
ernment of the people, by the peo-
ple, for the people," implies<rules and
| law, for only through the discovery
of rules and the formulation of law
can "people" govern and be gc^erned.
The true legislator formulates a
He is
not above, but within, the ruling of
the laws he discovers. He does not
make any laws, even though termed
a law maker. If legislation be both
right and timely, there will be a ma-
jority of citizens discerning and ac-
cepting it, who will carry on the na-

The difference between the two po-
sitions is the difference between a fu-
ture safe and free and just, and a
past cruel, unjust, treacherous* and
tyrannous, the difference between
American ideals and practice and
German kultur and atrocities.

tion's affairs, like pioneers who march
daringly, forming the road for all
who follow. The objectors who throw
stones at the road makers will later
use the road.
The one imperative requirement in
a democracy is character in the men
and women composing it. Therein
cannot continue to be tyrannos and
helot, tzar and serf There must be
common understanding working for
common weal. The extremes repre-
sented by "le Grand Monarque et le«
paysans" are followed by storm and
cataclysm. After the bitter storm in
France comes a rainbow promise
shining above a republic. Perhaps
there is promise, too, behind the dark
cloud of war, for the military serf
helpless, like a pawn, in the hands of
emperor chess players. "Food foi

WAR SAVINGS WILL
BAND TOGETHER
Muskogee, Okla., March 13 —
(Special)—The War Savings Society
is to become a vital factor in helping
Uncle Sam win the war. These so-
cieties are to be organized in every
hamlet, city and town in Oklahoma
and in remote sections, if necessary,
a family will be fixed as the unit for
such an organization.
The society will meet regularly and
discuss war topics and every thing
for the good of the country. Quali-
fication for membership is that the
member must have signed a pledge
to save. The members of the society
will observe closely and if anyone has
failed to keep his or her promise to
buy "Baby Bonds," a visit from a
committee will be forthcoming. The
society will be the means of stimu-
lating interest in war savings and can
be utilized to help the government
in other ways.

THE THIRD LIBERTY LOAN
The campaign for the Third Lib-
erty Loan will be opened on the 6th
of April, the anniversary of the dec-
laration of a state of war between the
United States and Germany.
The amount, terms and conditions
of the loan are dependent upon fur-
ther legislation and will be announced
as soon as Congress has granted the
necessary powers.
Secretary McAdoo chose the 6th
of April as the day to open the cam-
paign as the most fitting date to call
for a patriotic response to the sum-
mons to duty to every American, to
ask from the people at lyome the same
fervent patriotism that actuates our
gallant sons on the battlefields of
France and on the waters of the At-
lantic.
i he workers oi the Red cross canteen service are always on tne jod wnen soldiers are passing
through a town. They prepare mounds of delicious sandwiches, huge wedges of pie, and to top it
off gallons of piping hot coffee for the soldier boys. This photograph shows a typical scene at
a station somewhere in the Southwestern Division of the Red Cross when a troop train made a brief
halt on its way from somewhere to somewhere else with some of our soldi^j bovs.

PATRIOTS MUST LEND
WHOLE-HEARTED SUPPORT
Patriotism cannot be negative.
Nothing great can he merely nega-
ive. The United States of America
onfers upon her people privileges
snd opportunities surpassing any
ithcr. We must be loyal to our
ountry if we would escape being
igly ingrates. We have a motto,
"United we stand, divided we fall.";
Now that war has been made upon
is by the mightiest military power of
history. American patriots must shove
aside selfish consideration and step
forward to thorough support of the
government by putting over the Third
Liberty Loan.
The government is today the great-
est employer of labor in the United
States, not considering railroad em-
ployees. In normsil times approxi-
mately 400,000 civilians are employed
and in the last year the number has
increased to 600,000. In comparison
one steel corporation employes 300,-
000 men, and one railroad '250,000.

| Yes, these are hard times. We
throw away ashes and soap. We raise
dogs and buy hogs. We grow weeds

from a $4.00 rod. We build school
I houses and send our children away
from home to be educated. And last
but not least, we send our boys out
with a $40 gun and $20 dog to hunt
10-cent dame. Yes, these are hard
times, but whose fault is it? Don't
place all the blame on the president
and the trusts.

Bad Taste in Your Mouth.
When you have a bad taste in your
mouth you may know that your di-
gestion is faulty. A dose of Cham-
berlain's Tablets will usually cor-
rect the disorder. They also cause a
gentle movement of the bowels. You
will find this to be one of the best
